I'm not here to get into a pissing match with anyone, but visiting this site as well as other's concerning todays times and the car/motorcycle hobby. I read about guys/gals buying/ building cars/ bikes,parts and spending money doing their thing. Then I see how this economy has been in the downturn in recent years along with costs of everything going up, now all this healthcare crap, people loosing jobs, houses ect. and I sit and get confused on what are people doing, and not kind of preparing for future changes and go on as if life is the same as it was before all of this. I understand about continuing to go on living life, but over the years it is apparent that things are not doing better. I was at a local track the last 3 weeks of the season and talked with one of the track employees and he stated that their car count average was down from about 230 to about 170 to 180 and they have noticed that quite a few cars are parked because of this. So my question is, do most here and just ignore the times we are in and hope for things to get better or are those here re thinking things and going about being somewhat cautious on their hobby expenditures/ I don't imply this to be political or anything I'm just trying to get some insight on what I may do in the future concerning my car hobby interests, Thanks.
